Irish Comedy The Lonesome West from San Jose Stage Company

Following the success of The Beauty Queen of Leenane and A Skull in Connemara, San Jose Stage Company presents the next chapter of Martin McDonagh's "Leenane Trilogy." The Lonesome West is as comically volatile as we've come to expect from McDonagh. His acute ear for language transforms casual speech into the poetry of the Irish storytelling tradition. That colorful, surreal voice that earned The Lonesome West a Tony nomination.

Venue Details

Depending on where you sit, you might find the seat a bit dusty perhaps with some little bit of cobweb or not. But comparatively, it's still cleaner than going to movie theater where people or kids slob over the seat with food, etc.

Description

Be it a drunken priest or a plastic saint, nothing is sacred to the Connor brothers, two Irishmen who like a good fight and will use any excuse to start one. In fact, this Tony-nominated play is as comically profane as we’ve come to expect from McDonagh, whom critics have dubbed “the Quentin Tarantino of the Emerald Isle.” In the same colorful, surreal voice he used in THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE and A SKULL IN CONNEMARA, McDonagh gives audiences one final look at the off-kilter inhabitants of this tiny Irish village, where not even a bag of crisps can escape a violent end.
